Fur Storage

During summer months it is important to bring your garments to Tsontos Furs in Mineola where we can store your furs in our on-premise temperature and humidity controlled vault.

Our specially designed cold storage vault prevents the fur of your garment from shedding and the leather of the skin from drying out.

We highly recommend storing your fur coat as a yearly maintenance routine to ensure many years of enjoyment!

How We Take Care of Your Fur

The care of your fur is our top priority. To provide your garments with the best service our staff follows this 6 step process to ensure the best experience.
  1. Examine the condition of the fur.
  2. Check for rips, tears or worn areas that need repair.
  3. Examine the lining for loose seams, labels or tears.
  4. Thoroughly check hooks and eyes, buttons and loops.
  5. Determine whether the garment requires a cleaning.
  6. At your request we can discuss remodeling possibilities.

Why Should You Store Your Fur?

Inside Fur Storage Vault

One of the most important things you can do to take care of your fur coat is to have it professionally stored each off-season. This will keep your fur supple and sleek, protecting your investment for years to come.

Because fur is an organic material, high temperatures can be very damaging. Our on-premise cold storage vault helps to preserve the oils and fibers in your fur garment. To keep your garment in perfect condition, our cold storage vault runs at a steady 55°F.

Moths and other insects can be found in many households and they can cause serious damage to your fur garments. They are difficult to spot and when you find one, you are probably too late. 

 

When Should I Bring in My Fur for Storage?

Our customers often ask us what the best time is to store their fur coat, scarf or other fur garments. Typically we see the most customers bringing in their garments for storage between April and June.

We recommend scheduling an appointment so we can give you and your fur garments all the attention you deserve.

Appointments are not required for cold-storage drop off; we welcome walk-ins during regular store hours.  We are happy to have you pass by our store in Mineola!
